The dynamics of a process response can be modeled by three types of parameters: dead time, time constant, and process gain. The dynamics are identified from the plant's operation, and they determine ...

Process manufacturers have been using advanced process control (APC) and online optimization technologies for several decades. Advances are being made on the business front, increasing manufacturers’ ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...
